idosubaru Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Light wreck pinched the trans line up front and puked fluid. I refilled it and it drives in drive, goes *forward* when in reverse, and goes nowhere in neutral - it won’t even drift in neutral?! What? How can you “blow” neutral? Is this transmission hosed from puking or has air in the fluid from being emptied or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 perhaps the selector is out of alignment with the tranny internals? honestly, I have no idea, just a thought.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 My first guess (or wishful thinking) is that filling it after puking fluid - that new fluid needed to fill the hoses, torque converter, and other empty areas and the pan needs topped off again.

Numbchux Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I ASSume 2.5, CVT? Does it go into Park (engage parking prawl)? What fluid did you use, and did you put it in the right place (fill plug on the side)? I know these can be a bear to get all the air out (best done level, warm and running, which is hard to do without a hoist), but I wouldn't think an air pocket would default to drive.

idosubaru Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) You got it - CVT, 2.5, correct fill hole, and Amsoil CVT fluid that GD uses. Like you suggest - Subaru mentions temperature and adding quantities at a time/cycling with engine running. I just topped it off and ignored that I did briefly shift but didn’t cycle through gears much at all so maybe it’ll smooth out topping it off again and looking at those procedures.
